Micah 7:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ The people in other countries will see what you do.
They will understand that they are not really powerful.
So then they will be ashamed.
They will be like deaf people and dumb people.
¹⁷ They will be like snakes that move along the ground.
They will be afraid and they will eat dust like snakes.^[a]
They will come carefully out of their safe places,
because they are afraid of you, the Lord our God.
¹⁸ No other god is like you.
You chose us to be your people.
And you decide not to remember what we have done wrong.
Not many of your people remain and we have done bad things.
But you choose to forget those bad things.
You will not always be angry,
because you want very much to be kind.
